Juno is a feminine name despite the O ending. I hate it on a boy. (Besides, I think of that teen pregnancy movie Juno.)

Hee. I quite like it.

Juno is a girl's name dammit! :( Way to ruin it, banjoists.

I hear the noise of a banjo breaking a string from the awfulness of this name!

While I prefer Juno for a girl, I don't mind it for a boy. Where I live all names ending in O are male (and names ending in A aren't always female).

Ick. I don't like it on a boy.

I think it works. Good choice.

I met Bela! Well, not really. I walked into viola class once and he was playing his banjo concerto onstage, with a midi orchestra playing in the background. Turns out he was trying it out on all kinds of audiences, because he was so nervous to play with NSO. I didn't know who he was at first, but when he started pickin' I thought "Hey, this guy is good," and then when he mentioned he was named after Bartok I was like "OhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHH"

Anyway I dig Juno for a boy, good for them. I like boyish girl names being used on boys. I hope it becomes trendy. Juno Fleck. What a cool name.

It looks as if the celebs of our fascinating planet are going all out to reverse the boy-names-for-girls trend. There was a boy Phaedra the other day, and a girl James ... and now this. Oh well, let them play. If Juno, Phaedra and James grow up with more sense than their parents, they can always change their names when they're legally able to.

Actually, it's not that bad. Sure, name nerds will cry, but how about the rest of the world? It ends in -o like a lot of boys names, and since pretty much all girls names are being used on boys, why not the other way around?
I do prefer Juno on a girl, but I actually don't think Juno on a boy is that weird, at least not for a celeb baby.

Love it..

I love it on a boy.. and how someone else talked about Artemis, I also love that on a boy.... lol

Booooo

Juno for a girl all the way! It's like naming your son Artemis. Oh, wait...

SuperAngryFace!!

Nooo!! I love Juno, but not a boy! That so weird. It ruins it.

Whoa

I can't deny it, at one time (before I knew better) I really adored Juno on a boy. But since Juno is a goddess and all, I tend to prefer the Juneau spelling. either way I can't pretend I'm not delighted
